    Exceptional Service & Professionalism

    I wholeheartedly recommend McBoat Photography, helmed by the incredibly talented Shameka. Our experience with McBoat Photography was nothing short of exceptional. Shameka's professionalism, combined with her innate talent, made our event an unforgettable experience. Shameka exudes a level of professionalism that is unmatched. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photographs, she exhibited a keen attention to detail and a dedication to capturing the essence of our event. Her ability to understand our vision and translate it into stunning visuals was remarkable. Furthermore, the addition of Eponine as the second shooter was an absolute delight. Eponine complemented Shameka's expertise perfectly. Their seamless coordination and teamwork ensured that every important moment was beautifully captured from various angles and perspectives- giving us great content for our socials. What truly set McBoat Photography apart was their exceptional direction. Shameka and Eponine effortlessly guided everyone present, making them feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their ability to move independently while capturing the most candid and breathtaking moments was impressive. The resulting photographs were nothing short of breathtaking. Shameka and Eponine have an incredible knack for encapsulating emotions and telling a story through their photographs. Each image captured by McBoat Photography reflected the joy and magic of our event. In conclusion, if you're seeking a professional, talented, and dedicated photography team, look no further than McBoat Photography. Shameka and Eponine's commitment to excellence and their ability to deliver exquisite photographs make them an invaluable asset to any event.

    Wonderful Photographer

    Meka was amazing. She not only was there before the ceremony for the before pictures, but she also most importantly kept the event running on time and progressed the reception through its paces. Meka is such a wonderful personality, she was a beautiful addition to my wedding. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend McBoat photography for all of your photography needs...professional, affordable and detailed oriented. Meka is gifted at her craft as a photographer and will enhance any of your personal occasions by her beautiful smile and contagious energy to ensure you have fun capturing valuable and timeless moments of your LIVES!!!

    McBoat Photography is AMAZING!!

    All I can say is “Wow!” Meka, the owner of McBoat Photography is awesome. She was the photographer for our wedding. You never would have known she wasn’t apart of the wedding group. She fit right in, had a blast and it just felt natural. She directed us well, and we ended up with some beautiful photos both natural as well as planned. We would absolutely use Meka again. Use her!!!

    McBoat Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Helena for your very kind words! Your wedding was beautiful and I felt so blessed to be apart of it and to know you two!

    Hire a professional.

    We could not have asked for a better photographer. From lighting to choosing the best locations at our venue, McBoat Photography made sure everything was perfect and we could not be happier with our photos. Oh and the action shots during the reception really add life and tell a story about our evening. Please don't compromise on your wedding photos. Hire an expert photographer with years of experience. We did not hire a videographer and I kinda kicked myself for it but when we received our professionally edited pictures, they absolutely told the complete story of our special day. I highly recommend McBoat Photography!

    McBoat photography made all of our dreams come true! Greg and Meka did an incredible job at our wedding! They are both professional and flexible, but extremely fun and outgoing. Everyone was so comfortable around them as we are all laughing and having a great time! After the wedding, so many friends and family came up to me to compliment Greg and Meka. They were so impressed by their demeanor, professionalism, and ability to have a great time! We cannot wait to see them again for our trash the dress photo shoot.

    Greg and Meka are truly amazing. Nothing I can say in this review will do them or their work justice. They are very easy to work with and extremely talented at what they do. Our pictures are simply amazing. Our wedding flew by and seems like such a blur to us, having these pictures allows us to relive that day. They captured everything! Greg and Meka weren’t just our photographers; they were like good friends who just happened to be taking our picture. I felt so calm and relaxed on the wedding day and I think a lot of that is because I had Meka and Greg with me all day. They were constantly cracking me up and making sure I had everything I needed. Their work is fantastic, they are awesome, and their prices are so reasonable. What’s not to love?! We highly recommend them to everyone! Our close friends just booked them for next summer and we are so excited that we get to see them again!

    We got so many compliments about how Greg worked with our guests. They were just so much fun the day of our wedding. They did a beautiful job. My one complaint is that some of my pictures were too pixelated.

    Greg and Meka are AMAZING to work with. First of all, the quality of the photos they take are stunning. They're beautiful, and give you such a good feel for the emotion of the day. Second of all, they're easy to work with... very mellow & tons of fun. My whole family welcomed them as part of the guests, not just as hired help. Since our ceremony was private, it really made a huge impact that they fit in, and didn't feel like they were imposing on this very intimate event. The value in the images is remarkable. The sheer volume of the number of shots they catch, and they're all phenomenal... worth every penny twice over!

    I cannot say enough about McBoat Photography. They truly made our wedding amazing and captured every moment of it. We had a destination wedding in Jamaica and were blessed to have the McBoats around snapping pictures for a few days.

    Both of our families fell in love with these amazing photographers, we were all sad to see them leave, but feel we have made friends for life.

    They went above and beyond, and in addition to their photography also helped coordinate tremendously the day of the wedding, when other vendors were failing us.

    Their photos are amazing. I have recieve hundreds of compliments, even complete strangers have taken the time to go through around 2,000+ pictures because the McBoats did such an amazing job.

    I would recommend McBoat Photography to anyone looking for photography. They are budget friendly and were worth beyond when we paid for their services.

    I would recommend McBoat Photography to everyone, no matter what your photo needs are. Greg and his wife, Shameka, were amazing. They took our engagement pictures and I cannot say enough about how great they were. Greg took the time to learn about us, our relationship, our personalities, and what we were looking for in our engagement pictures. And on the day of the pictures, he guided us through several pictures while at the same time he allowed us to guide ourselves so that he could catch some special moments and how we interacted together. Our family and friends continually comment on how amazing our pictures are. We could not have asked for better pictures.

    You just can't beat Greg for the quality you get for such a low price. He is worth every penny (and more!). We were thrilled with our wedding pictures - they had the unique photojournalistic style we were looking for. Instead of the cliche, posed photos that so many photographers do, we got photos that actually told the story of OUR day.

    We love, love, LOVE Greg!! At our wedding, he was there every time I ever thought, 'I want a picture of that!' He attended and photographed our rehearsal dinner, getting ready, wedding, and day-after brunch. I can't say enough about his super-speedy turnaround and the care, attention to detail and unique perspective he brings to his craft. He’s unobtrusive, great fun to work with, a very good listener and he strives to take the best pictures possible. We had two photographers, yet most of our favorite wedding pictures are the ones he took. We would recommend him in a heartbeat!

    McBoat Photography did an amazing job. Greg put a lot of effort into knowing the event and the parties involved. He went above and beyond the number of shots promised and the photos were delivered quickly. He has an impeccable "bed side manner" as well and a way with people to capture their very best. My mother, who HATES getting her picture taken, actually re-created a moment so that Greg could take a picture at Greg's request. This was amazing to me. I highly recommend McBoat Photograpy.
